32.  Let those children of sloth, the Manicheans, make answer; who without labouring themselves eat up the labourers’ fruits:  who welcome with smiling faces those who bring them their food, and return curses instead of blessings.  For when a simple person brings them anything, “Stand outside a while,” saith he, “and I will bless thee.”  Then having taken the bread into his hands (as those who have repented and left them have confessed), “I did not make thee,” says the Manichee to the bread:  and sends up curses against the Most High; and curses him that made it, and so eats what was made See Turbo’s confession, Disput. § 9:  “And when they are going to eat bread, they first pray, speaking thus to the bread:  ‘I neither reaped thee, nor ground thee, nor kneaded thee, nor cast thee into the oven:  but another did these things and brought thee to me, and I am not to blame for eating thee.’  And when he has said this to himself, he says to the Catechumen, ‘I have prayed for thee,’ and so he goes away.”.  If thou hatest the food, why didst thou look with smiling countenance on him that brought it to thee?  If thou art thankful to the bringer, why dost thou utter thy blasphemy to God, who created and made it?  So again he says, “I sowed thee not:  may he be sown who sowed thee!  I reaped thee not with a sickle:  may he be reaped who reaped thee!  I baked thee not with fire:  may he be baked who baked thee!”  A fine return for the kindness!
